  17 GLOBAL SETTINGS
  18 ---------------
  19 agefile
  20         Specifies a path, relative to each repository path, which can be used
  21         to specify the date and time of the youngest commit in the repository.
  22         The first line in the file is used as input to the "parse_date"
  23         function in libgit. Recommended timestamp-format is "yyyy-mm-dd
  24         hh:mm:ss". Default value: "info/web/last-modified".

  28         "/var/cache/cgit".

  47 cache-static-ttl
  48         Number which specifies the time-to-live, in minutes, for the cached
  49         version of repository pages accessed with a fixed SHA1. Default value:
  50         "5".
  51
  52 clone-prefix
  53         Space-separated list of common prefixes which, when combined with a

  55         setting is only used if `repo.clone-url` is unspecified. Default value:
  56         none.
  57
  58 css

  64         each repo in the repository index (specifically, to the "summary",

  80         ignore other values. Default value: none.

  83         The content of the file specified with this option will be included
  84         verbatim at the bottom of all pages (i.e. it replaces the standard

 195         value: none.
 196         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
 197         same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.
